FATX is a slightly modified version of the FAT filesystem, and is designed for Microsoft's Xbox video game console hard disk drive and memory cards.

On-disk datestamps differ slightly between FAT and FATX: In FAT, the epoch is 1980. In FATX, the epoch is 2000.

FATX memory cards can be read and written by regular PCs by putting them in an Xbox controller, and plugging the controller into a USB socket on the PC. The Action Replay software can then be used to access the memory card.

Xbox hard drives can be read and written using the FATX Explorer or Xplorer360 software.
